Books and cats and cooking and tea and open-wheel motor racing.
Classic school cafeteria-style vegetable soup. A tomato base, some onion, mixed vegetables, diced potatoes, kidney beans, and light seasonings. Served with plenty of herbaceous sourdough crackers.

I never actually ate this soup as a child, but developed a fondness for it somewhere along the way.

Working on my besan omelette technique. I was never any good at making egg omelettes and these have a similar consistency and cook time. But I'm making progress!

Stuffed with onions, baby bellas, spinach, and parsley, so at least they'll taste good.

Only had one remote raid pass for lugia. Unbelievable shiny luck, but terrible IV 😂 #pokemongo

Made Thanksgiving dinner out of a cooler while house-sitting. Only, I forgot to pack an entire bag of food in said cooler.

...So, I'm thankful I was able to eat three helpings of green bean casserole and toppingless cauliflower mac.

Made an upsetting amount of chili-cheeze fries

Cracked open Yunnan Sourcing's 'Spring 2014 "Drunk on Red with Snow Chrysanthemum" Sun-Dried Feng Qing Black Tea mini cake' two weeks ago and this is already my final mug of it.

I'm not one to wax poetic about cha qi, but this tea feels nice. It's uplifting, yet relaxing. #teasky

Quinoa bowl topped with maple vinaigrette, roasted butternut squash + sweet potato + pepitas, and shaved Brussels sprouts slaw tossed with crasins and toasted sunflower seeds. Sometimes fall is alright.

Got a robot vacuum. Papa's still coming to terms with it.

You know dinner is about to go hard when your hot sauce issues a preemptive apology

Enjoying some absolute insanity from William Kotzwinkle paired with several mugs of Tata Gold. #booksky #teasky

We had 10 minutes of decent weather today, fortunately we were on the beach during sunset at the time 🌅

Drinking a big mug of Yunnan Sourcing's 2017 Yi Wu "Yi Bi Village" Wild Arbor raw puerh. I'm not one to wax poetic about cha qi, or even believe in such things, but I can't deny that this tea feels good. It's both stimulating and relaxing, plus it tastes lovely. #teasky

Working from home today, so I get to use a real mug for once.

Today's tea is Rowena from @tabletopteas.bsky.social, a Lady Grey with cream flavor. It's delicious! #teasky

Okay, it was possibly worth it

The Hummus a Tune burger from the Bob's Burgers cookbook + extra hummus on the side, because why not

...Well, that last book was a slog. Better make up for it with something really dang cool!

But in all seriousness, all the economic material I consume is from sources with whom I generally agree. This is a departure, and a time capsule, so it's interesting in its own way #booksky

Back up to my Yorkshire Gold nonsense. It's the blend that turned me into a tea person and I never seem to get tired of it. #teasky

The difficult part about reading is starting a new book. I'm always like, "What nonsense am I about to get myself into? Am I equipped for this?"

Anyway, today I'm starting The Good Byline by Jill Orr #booksky

Punkzilla by Adam Rapp is pretty delightful so far. #booksky

This book is much stranger than I was led to believe it would be
